Blackpools FA Cup final win against Bolton will be discussed next month

The Seasiders have reached three FA Cup Finals, winning the trophy in 1953, with two of the dates coinciding with the Trust’s weekly ‘Sporting Memories’ sessions, where fans can share memories of sport as a player or spectator.

Next Wednesday, April 24, they will be at The Grange, Bathurst Avenue, to discuss the 1948 FA Cup run, culminating in the club’s first FA Cup final appearance against Manchester United.

It runs from 10.30am-12.30pm with a chance to hear from guest speakers and see memorabilia.

Then, on May 2, the club’s victorious 1953 campaign – and that legendary final against Bolton Wanderers – will be discussed in the sponsors lounge at Bloomfield Road (1pm-2.30pm).
